Default Need help in purchasing an amp

I have searched the forum but I have not been able to narrowed it down. A few months ago, I installed the biketronics hertz 6.5" speakers on my 2011 FLHX. I believe they are rated at 3 ohms. I retained the stock HK unit. The sound improved especially at high speed but now I would like a richer and fuller sound. So I am thinking to add an amp without breaking the bank. I am leaning with an elf or an arc. I am hearing the new RF amp has some heat issues. I would like to keep the cost around $ 250. What would you suggest to get the most bang for the bucks?

I have got the same speakers as you and Elf audio at 200 bucks or less is a steal.

Thanks guys. That is why is so confusing sometimes. SG Mike and Cool, you guys have have conflicting views on the arc. Maybe I should have started a poll.

hawg-wired but you're going to pay more than 250 bucks you get what you pay for.

For the money the ARC amp is a nice amp with 6.5 inch Hertz speakers.

Someone had a thread on brand new amps the other day. The numbers looked good for sure.
